Croatia

Croatia engages in illegal push back of asylum seekers and migrants who attempt to enter from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Asylum seekers and refugees report violent beatings by Croatian police and are prevented from accessing asylum procedures. Many adults with disabilities are placed in foster care instead of given support that would allow them to live independently in the community. Ethnic minorities, notably Roma and Serbs, regularly experience discrimination. The Croatian judiciary has made slow progress towards accountability for war crimes.
